It says that a church is not a building. A church is the people.
People should worship their god together regardless whether the building is open or the 'leaders' forbid it.
I mean, that's what I would do. The leader doesn't have to be the preacher.
Just a man of God.
Okay, or a woman of God. Man of God just rolls off the tongue more poetical.
And here is an inspirational video that shows you the power of religion to affect behavior.
Sing God's Tryin' To Tell You Somethin'
You’re in good company. St. Paul had the same theory. That’s what all of his epistles are about: the Church, the Body if Christ. Not a building of believers but a Body of believers. Romans through Philemon are Paul’s Epistles.
You have the right of it. The whole comment, I just don't like formatting the whole thing.
I can't speak for what's happening in CA and most other states. Heck, can't even speak for most of my state. But am aware of groups of Christians in 3 counties in here who have taken action. I don't see these things on anyone's geopolitical map of happenings but it's my hope and prayer that the church is waking up like this across the nation.
The Bible makes clear that fear is of the enemy. This gluttony of fear being thrust on the world is all about the spiritual enemy's control of God's creation. It's our job as the church to rise up and cast out that fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. Perfect love casts out all fear. It is past time that the church (people) in America rise up and do our job.
You have the coolest musical/movie memories! Thanks for the edumacation (I haven't seen this movie).
